"Midnight in Paris:" best Woody in years! Owen Wilson

is terrific as an author visiting Paris with his fiancee and her parents. One evening, he is transported to the past, to a time when the City of Lights teemed with Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Stein, Picasso, Bunuel, Dali and other luminaries-- and all of this beautifully done with NO NO NO special fx. The more one knows of literature, painting, and culture the more the enjoyment; but, my young daughter, unknowledgeable of these things as yet, found it very amusing.
There is more clever writing in this film than in twenty other typical American offerings: it IS possible to have an audience uncontrollably laughing without resorting to crudeness, crassness, or violence! Interestingly, though it is prominently featured, the cinematography of Paris isn't exceptional. Still, it is almost another character, and a beautiful one.
Bravo Woody, you still have it in you.
